Italian jazz pianist and singer Francesca Tandoi has been hailed by critics and peers as a rising jazz star and one of the most enthralling young talents on the International jazz scene. In just a few short years, she has earned international acclaim as a world-class pianist and vocalist. She has performed with some of the finest international jazz musicians. She has toured and performed at some of the most noteworthy theatres, jazz festivals, and clubs around the world such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz, Cork Jazz, Bosendorfer Gala, Breda jazz Festival, Amsterdam Arena Stadium, Piano City Madrid, Sumatra Jazz Festival, Tokyo Hakuju Concert Hall, Moscow Gorkiy Park Summer Festival, Tver Philarmonic Hall, Stara Zagora Jazz Festival and many more in USA, Japan, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Russia and everywhere in Europe. Well-known pianist Monty Alexander was positively carried away by her debut album. Alexander said, “Francesca Tandoi is a supremely tasteful swinging piano player. Her vocals are exquisite, her compositions are melodic and memorable, and her arrangements are extremely thoughtful.” She appears in more than 20 recordings as a sideman ( four with legendary American saxophonist Scott Hamilton) but the piano trio is definitely her favorite setting. As leader of her trios, she recorded six albums, “For Elvira,” ”Something Blue,” “Magic Three,” “Wind dance,” (this album appears in the TOP10 best albums of 2016 of the japanise magazine “Jazz Life”), “When in Rome,” and “Hope.”
